THE JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY. 247 



One who is "out for the money " seldom is regarded as a hero ; hence, I presume 

 that our friend Averbach is to be considered fortunate, for he recently proved himself 

 to be the right man in the right place, when he succeeded in saving the life of a fair 

 damsel who had swallowed a coin. 



Samuel Morris has resigned his position in the Ellison Pharmacy on Fifth Avenue, 

 where he had been located for two years. 



Friends of E. G. B. Erb will have just cause hereafter for remarking of his wonder- 

 ful nerve. Some time ago he conceived the idea of raising a beard, with the result 

 that he now has a growth that will make Diirr look to his laurels. When Chas. S. 

 learned of this move he at once sought a tonsorial artist ; hence we will hereafter have 

 to accustom ourselves to a new and novel condition of affairs. 



The '94 Reporter chanced to call on the '93 Reporter lately, when he met with the 

 usual Brooklyn hospitality. The modus operandi of the fall campaign, together with 

 other important items, were discussed harmoniously ; therefore, we may look forward 

 to good times when the October reception starts the ball a rolling. 



Camp Wikoff, September 12, '98. 

 My Dear Ceass-mate : 



Will you be surprised at receiving a letter from Camp. I volunteered as either 

 nurse or apothecary during the war, and was called upon by the Government as nurse, 

 but when I applied for leave of absence to Dr. Macdonald of the Manhattan State 

 Hospital I was told that I could not have one. I stood it for ten days and after that I 

 felt such a traitor to let my position stand in the way of helping the suffering soldiers, 

 that I finally resolved to resign and enlist, and doing so, have been assigned to Camp 

 Wikoff. 



When the medical officers down here found that I was a druggist as well as a nurse, 

 they asked to have me assigned to the drug store, and now I am monarch of a tent in 

 a drug store. I have had so much drug work for the last two years that I had hoped 

 to have some nursing to do, but I am a soldier now and must obey orders. 



Will you hold any mail matter from the College to me, until you hear from me 



again ? Camp Wikoff may be broken up in a few days, and I may be mustered out or 



assigned to other duty. Will let you know later. 



Very Cordially, 



Agnes P. Mahony.

'98 Notes. 



" Blonde " Seltmann is managing a store at White Plains, N. Y. Bye the bye, old 

 boy, what has become of that red tie the boys used to have such fun with ? 



A number of our boys have returned this year to adorn their names with the title of 

 Phar.D. (that is they are going to try to and we think they can). They are Wood, 

 Holcomb, F. W. Brown, Justin, Straus, Eosee, and E. D. Brown. 



We regret very much that none of our young ladies returned, but we suppose they 

 would rather change their names to a Mrs. 



Our class will be well represented in the far East, as Hildebrandt of the "Iowa," 

 Wild of the "Celtic," A. F. Eberhardt of the " Alexander," and Richards of the 

 " Cassius," have all started for Manila. 



Our long-looked- for diplomas will be ready for distribution in a few days.
